Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
phpWebSite fails to sanitize input sent to the XML-RPC server using the |
38 |
"POST" method. Other unspecified vulnerabilities have been discovered |
39 |
by Diabolic Crab of Hackers Center. |
40 |
|
41 |
Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
A remote attacker could exploit the XML-RPC vulnerability to execute |
45 |
arbitrary PHP script code by sending specially crafted XML data to |
46 |
phpWebSite. The undisclosed vulnerabilities do have an unknown impact. |
47 |
|
48 |
Workaround |
49 |
========== |
50 |
|
51 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
52 |
|
53 |
Resolution |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest available version: |
57 |
|
58 |
# emerge --sync |
59 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-app/phpwebsite-0.10.1-r1" |
